Dear Mr. Snider:
We are attorneys for the city of Fairfax. We have been
requested to inform you that the city has received
complaints concerning the condition of your property which
you rent to Banes Construction on Railroad Street in
Fairfax, Iowa. Those complaints concern what appear to be
abandoned vehicles, construction equipment, concrete rods,
and pieces of metal strewn across the property. We
understand and appreciate that you are leasing this property
to a construction company, but as the owner of the property
within the city limits of Fairfax, you are subject to the
city code relating to the abatement of a nuisance if one
exists.
The city counsel would like to meet with you to discuss
the situation. The counsel next meets on March loth and
would invite you to attend. If you would please call the
city clerk to advise her of your intent to attend the
meeting, she could place the matter on the agenda.
We understand that you have been invited to attend
other city council meetings to discuss the matter, and the
council wants to offer you one more opportunity to resolve
this problem in an amicable way. If you 'have any questions,
feel free to contact us.
Very truly yours,
LYNCH, DALLAS, SMITH & HARMAN, P.C.
